Sion passive needs to be better.

Could Sion's passive be any more useless? Sure you gain back all your health upon dying to get a 2nd shot at killing your opponent but you can't kill the if every time you auto attack you stop moving and thus have to catch up to your foe again but you can't do that because you're dead for blood loss.

Even with furor or even Blade of the Ruined King, you can barely catch up because when you auto, you stop running and thus makes you passive a big waste of time, and since you can get stunned whilst in this mode, it just makes you even more useless.

I'd say that once you're in your passive form, you should be immune to crown control effects as you can barely kill a champion you're chasing but even if you do have the chance of killing them, if they have any form of crowd control, you're done for and they will get away.

I'm not saying Sion is bad, i really much do enjoy the new Sion but the passive just frustrates me as i can never seem to kill a player as i always get outran from being slowed and or stunned.

The thing is though, his passive isn't really geared toward 1v1 killing potential. I mean, on the surface it might seem that way, but the delay on the revival and the meager speed boost he gets kind of shows that he was more intended to provide control in a teamfight. And you can see that reflected in other parts of his kit, too.

He's a tanky initiator with great damage and a passive which allows him to have a huge presence in a fight even if he gets nuked down upon jumping in.

His dueling power, however, is weaker because of that. Most of his damage is aoe-based, meaning it's balanced around being able to reliably hit more than one enemy.

So, yeah. Think of him kind of like Zac. His passive isn't entirely geared toward giving him a "second chance" in a fight. That's more of a side thing. But it does give him some huge presence.

Unless the enemy team has a fiddlesticks, but honestly at that point you should just dodge.

Lol, I just faced a Sion and kept forgetting about his passive. Then he kept killing me while dead xD

Pretty sure his passive is to make him annoying.

Oh you just blew CC into killing him? too bad now he's back and you have to deal with him again.
